This is a sample Security Deposit Receipt template. A receipt for security deposit is a simple form that provides proof that payment of a security deposit was made and received by the landlord, and it documents the amount that was paid, when it was paid, who made the payment, and the method of payment. The receipt should be given at the moment the deposit changes hands. The form may be customized to suit your needs.
While the receipt is important, it’s also a good idea to document the condition of the property when you move in. Pictures can be worth a thousand words if there are any disputes later!
If you lose your receipt, don’t fret too much. Just reach out to your landlord for a new one. It’s better to keep a good record, just in case.
In Portland, a security deposit serves as a safety net for landlords. If there are any damages or unpaid rent when you move out, they might keep part or all of your deposit. But don't worry, if you leave everything peachy keen, you'll get it back.
